Support deployment on Sepolia

[michalinacienciala]

Why?

The Görli testnet currently used by Threshold/Keep for development purposes is planned to become deprecated with the end of year 2023. The testnet that is planned to replace it is called Holešky, however it's not yet available - it's planned it will become widely accessible on Oct 1, 2023 (source).
Switching our infrastructure to support new testnet is quite time consuming, so moving directly from Görli to Holešky may be quite risky, especially if there would be some delays in the date of Holešky genesis (not meeting the planned timelines is not a rare occurrence in the Ethereum space). As a solution, we decided to switch first to another testnet that is currently live - Sepolia. This testnet's EOL is planned for 2026, which gives us plenty of time to move to Holešky before Sepolia gets deprecated.

How?

Deploying contracts to a new testnet and adjusting CI accordingly is a work consisting of many tasks and requiring coordination of several team members. We shouldn't get rid of Görli support until we're sure that everything works on Sepolia smoothly (maybe even until Görli gets deprecated). We may consider adding Holešky support together with Sepolia in some places, for the future use (for example in Hardhat config).

What & who?

Documenting some decisions and steps of the process:

Deployer account
We decided to deploy the non-dapp-dev contracts on Sepolia using the 0x68ad60CC5e8f3B7cC53beaB321cf0e6036962dBc account. This is an account that was also used for Goerli deployment. We'll use it to deploy both Keep (v1, v2) and Threshold contracts.

Deploying legacy v1 Keep contracts
As some of the legacy projects are deprecated, we didn't commit the changes needed for Sepolia deployment to the repos. Only did this for keep-core project.
Here is the list of updates that was done in the deprecated projects to publish the NPM packages:

• keep-core: changes in code as in Support deployment of v1 contracts on Sepolia keep-core#3712, then:

nvm use 16
npm ci
CHAIN_API_URL=... CONTRACT_OWNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY=... npx truffle migrate --reset --network sepolia
mkdir -p artifacts
cp -r build/contracts/* artifacts/

then updated the package version in the package.json to 1.8.1-sepolia.0 and then:

npm publish --access=public --dry-run --tag sepolia
npm publish --access=public --tag sepolia          # required running `npm addr` first

• keep-ecdsa: updated truffle-related dependencies using Node.js v16, added sepolia config in solidity/truffle.js and then in the solidity folder:

nvm use 16
npm ci
npm install --save-exact @keep-network/keep-core@1.8.1-sepolia.0
CHAIN_API_URL=... CONTRACT_OWNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY=... npx truffle migrate --reset --network sepolia
mkdir -p artifacts
cp -r build/contracts/* artifacts/

then updated the package version in the package.json to 1.9.0-sepolia.0 and then:

npm publish --access=public --dry-run --tag sepolia
npm publish --access=public --tag sepolia

• tbtc: updated truffle-related dependencies using Node.js v16, added sepolia config in solidity/truffle-config.js, modified 2_deploy_contracts.js to deploy TestnetRelay for Sepolia and then in the solidity folder:

nvm use 16
npm ci
npm install --save-exact @keep-network/keep-ecdsa@1.9.0-sepolia.0
npx truffle migrate --reset --network sepolia

then updated the package version in the package.json to 1.1.2-sepolia.0 and then:

npm publish --access=public --dry-run --tag sepolia
npm publish --access=public --tag sepolia
